Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Intubation is the process of inserting an endotracheal tube (ETT) into the airway (windpipe).
Detailed explanation-2: -In its simplest form, the endotracheal tube is a tube constructed of polyvinyl chloride that is placed between the vocal cords through the trachea. It serves to provide oxygen and inhaled gases to the lungs and protects the lungs from contamination, such as gastric contents or blood.
